"Now might be a good time to remind everyone that “distinctive phrases” and rare words (high TF-IDF) are not as good for stylometry as subtle differences like “and” vs “the” ratios. If you can easily notice it, someone can easily spoof it."
- emmelaich 8y agoThen again stylometry would be the thing you'd expect to change most between a tweet and an article published with style checkers and editors.
- ggm 8y agohere's a shout-out for stylometry: https://books.google.com/books/about/To_Couple_is_the_Custom.html?id=z8GzNQAACAAJ https://books.google.com/books/about/To_Couple_is_the_Custom... (obviously, biassed since I'm related)
